Couple's Counselling
Relationships can be deeply rewarding, but they can also bring conflict, disconnection, and patterns that feel difficult to change. In couples counselling, Vanessa uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners understand the emotions and needs underneath recurring conflicts, strengthen their sense of safety and connection, and develop new ways of responding to one another. She is also Gottman-informed and draws on Gottman principles to support communication, conflict repair, friendship, and relationship resilience. Sessions are collaborative and practical. You may spend time slowing down a recent conflict, exploring the cycle you and your partner get caught in, practicing new ways of communicating, and identifying small changes you can bring into your relationship between sessions.
